Side view of a vinegaroon

In this picture you can clearly see the tube like tail (flagellum), which gives the uropygid one
of its common names: whip scorpion, even though its clearly not a scorpion. The animal has
8 legs, but uses 6 for walking. The first pair serve as antennae-like sensory organs.

The uropygid has glands near the rear of their rear of their abdomen that can spray a fine
mist that smells like vinegar, hence one of its other common names: vinegaroon. In Mexico
its called vinagrillo, which is a word made up by gluing vinagre (vinegar) and grillo
(cricket) together.

At the bottom of the picture you can see the leg of a cricket, remainders of a meal.
